EVERYONE must download and review the Orientation Document available on my website

 

The Orientation Document should provide the following:

·         Syllabus, course assignments, and grade evaluation explanation

·         How to register in the online course including required dates for registration to avoid being dropped from the course

·         Preview of the Final Exam and how to prepare for and register for the final exam

·         How to contact the instructor both within the software and regularly.

 

Online Orientation Document and Continued Enrollment in the Economics Course:

All students are required to review the document and pass an orientation quiz (once registered in Pearson Lab).

The Document is titled 'Online Orientation Document (required) and is available on the SSOL-ONLINE homepage.

1.       Review the required Online Orientation Document

2.      Obtain your Course ID from a Welcome email from the professor

3.       Register in the Pearson Lab environment. (you will need the course ID and a Pearson Access code that comes with your textbook)

a.  NO EXCEPTIONS will be made for late registrants.

b.  This semesters deadline is midnight on ___                              ___.

c.  PLEASE NOTE: That the two assignments are due the first week of class

***Thus, it is possible to register in the Pearson Lab environment and already have missed assignments resulting in ZERO's***

4.       Complete the Orientation Quiz within the online software environment with a score of 90% or greater.

a. ONLY at this point are you ensured to NOT BE DROPPED FROM THE COURSE.

5.       Begin regular course work.

 

*Please note: This option requires no one-on-one contact with the professor. While it may be convenient it can also be difficult to ascertain all of the information one desires concerning an online course such as the one on which you are embarking. Thus, It is imperative that you read everything within the syllabus, orientation documents, and my website in order to be properly prepared for the course.

 

**Please also remember once the attendance grace period has passed the student will receive a grade earned (A, B, C, D, or F) in the course unless the student completes the paperwork and withdraws from the course prior to midterm. I do not complete paperwork for students under any circumstance!
